Virtuous

Boadicea the Victorious Virtuous is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Virtuous opens with Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Sandalwood, Musk, and Cedar. Boadicea the Victorious's Virtuous carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast, not for the faint of heart. Some find its initial blast off-putting, a challenging blend of spice and deep woods, but it settles into something surprisingly wearable. You'll either love its bold, Arabian character or find it utterly perplexing.

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage, long lasting performance, and rich, spicy oud-rose profile, Virtuous is best reserved for evenings or cooler weather. It's likely too intense for an office environment but makes a statement on a date or at a formal event.

About

Virtuous kicks off with a sharp, almost bitter saffron, quickly joined by a dominant, jammy rose. As it warms, a robust, earthy oud emerges, grounded by the rich, resinous depth of labdanum and the creamy solace of sandalwood and cedar. A subtle musk weaves throughout, adding a plush, slightly powdery finish to this complex, oriental woody affair.
